City tech leaders could learn from AITP-Innotech award program

First, let me be perfectly clear on this. I am the publicist for the Austin and San Antonio Innotech trade shows.

Having said that, I want to promote the upcoming Austin AITP annual award program which will be held as part of the Oct. 28 event.

The AITP is looking for nominations for these categories:

• Austin IT Executive of the Year

• 2010 IT Solution of the Year

• 2010 IT Public Sector Executive of the Year

• 2010 IT Corporate Executive of the Year

• 2010 Information Technologist of the Year

You can get more information by visiting this link: http://www.aitpaustin.org/itexec.

However, I want to plant some seeds among our many technology leaders. Now is the time to begin thinking about how an organization could sponsor this awards program. It will take a little work, but it will help promote the growth of technology within our city. The energy and the attendance for this event was such that it was a good thing that the Austin fire marshal was not on hand. It was standing room only for this event.

If you have any thoughts on an organization or a group that would be willing to work on this program, drop me a line in my comment sections below.
